    I am not even sure of the sub model of this machine. But you can use any 15 manual and it should have the information you need. The stitch length regulator is very unique in that it favors the 66-18. But it is still a valuable collectible and take very good care of her. If you can find a really nice cabinet for it then I would put it in there and not have a portable.

    Susan, your machine doesn't have a potted motor. Those have no belt and are gear driven, sitting up much higher on the back of the tower, and encased in a metal "pot". Yours is the external, belt-driven motor. I believe this is a 15-90.

    Oh yeah it is an export model for India I believe, and that run was only 35,000 of them in 1941. Now whether all of those were for export who knows but I am almost certain that one was hence the "Made in USA" on the machine.
